Update 30 | City in Business

The island is coming along finally! Three cities total as of now. Two out of three fully completed. City three is about 75% to 80% completed. Let's see what some of the finished portions look like.

Central plaza in the city. I have found, an awesome way to use seawall filler lots in my cities, and not just on the watefront. Grass could be greener however.

Anyone wanna go see a Holovid? I here the new continuation of StarWars is playing!

The highway running through connects the people here with the capitol city in the center of the island. A lot of the business is in the neighboring city, so many here commute down the highway because of it.

Of course a good city needs some old style buildings so those die hard New Yorkers feel at home.

It's ACTUALLY being used! A chance to show off my awesome El rail trains. Very modern huh.

Club Goober brings the "nightlife" to the young inhabitants. It's owners make this a getaway for the local highschool students, so because of that, only boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and nineteen can get in, and dance to all varieties of Techno, R&B and Hip Hop music of the new age. A great way to work off the stresses of bad test scores and cranky science teachers.

And here's where those kids come from. Well for about six hours of their days. Because of the place's very plain campus, the teens are driven to the club to get some excitement in their lives. (Club Goober is in no way associated with teens failing test scores and lack of sleep, and cannot be held responsible)

And here's a little piece of art I made with the elevated road puzzle pieces. I'm a sad Archy because theres no smooth transition from straight to diagonal pieces for the roads. But they still work.

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull work great details my friend

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

I see room for another city... looks good, can't wait for more!

[TmiguelT 10]

great update .

I love that piece of art that you made with the NAM pieces

[Zelgadis 638]

The island is looking quite nice. I'm a bit curious as to the precise terrain mods that you used to create the landscape. I can see it must be cycledogg, but there are so many options with his stuff, I haven't figured out which combo gets the result you got. And that's the result I'm looking for.

Anyway, everything looks great.

[Follarch 327]

jacqulina: Thank you my friend!

Leech10: I do too, and, well. Just look below. ;P Thanks!

TmiguelT: Thanks!

You think? It could look a lot better if i had better puzzle pieces but still, at least it works! lol

Zelgadis: Thank you! Well I'm using the Colombus Terrain from cycledogg, you got that one right. The snow mod is also cycledogg, i believe, and the rock mod is from...uhm...some, person i forget his name. ;P

Thank you very much for the compliments!

Update 31 | One More to Go

The island is seeing HUGE development over the past week, thanks to me devoting all of my simcity time onto it, I'm getting it ready for its integration into my CJ and its storyline. The last you saw of Drace Island it had three cities, couple of bridges and so on. From there to now, you can see some major additions to the island, with its overall progress at 90% completed. Just one more to go!

Now, take a look at what we have here.

Now in Follomer, click here for full image!

Total number of settlements: 5

Number of harbors and airports: 1 each

Settlements to go: 1

As you can see, major additions since last update. Whats new is the harbor, the entry point for the islands product imports. And to the east of that, the titled Istari City, named after a character in the New Carpathia of Planets. And another honorary mention, DTP if your reading this, you see that penninsula to the west of the lower half of the island? That there is DeTeP Penninsula.

Completion of Drace Island is planned to happen very soon!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good, can't wait for more!

I think I see where the last settlement will go...

[spore415 5]

wow, i like alot Trist, and lol why don't i get a penisula named after me??? Jk anywya i like it and you sure do build up your cities fast!

also, how did you get your roads to have that brick texture?

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull region view my friend

[Follarch 327]

Leech10: Thanks! And I bet you do know where the last one will go, but here's the thing. *whispers* I lied, there's more then one more to go.

spore415: Thank you, and when I work, I work fast and hard on those cities lol. Sometimes I have to deal with my game crashing several times in a row, but that doesn't stop me. Frustrates the hell out of me yes, but doesn't stop.

And the brick sidewalks? A sandstone sidewalk mod.

jacqulina: Thank you for the compliment jacky!

Update 32 | Satellite and Transport Views

A bit ago, I had someone tell me that they would like to see a transportation view of my region, which I've neglected to show. Well, I remembered to grab a few pics of that, so that's what you're going to see!

First a view of Follomer.

Click here for full image.

Click here for full image.

There's follomer, and now a detailed view of a colony island. Drace Island.

Click here for full image.

Click here for full image.

I'm made great progress with the island which sits just southwest of Follomer. Total number of people, just under 145,500 people. The population is sure to get larger, but not very.

[jacqulina 162]

excellent transport views my friend.

[TmiguelT 10]

great transportation map you have there and the new island looks very organize

[Patricius Maximus 236]

I haven't checked in in a while, but all looks good, and rather better than expected. I hope the island will be completed and showcased soon.

- Patricius Maximus, Executive of Franklin

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good, two more to go? Or maybe three?

[ecoba 28]

Ooh, you've done it again...

Just marvelous couple of updates, Drace Island seems to be very promising... I want to see that one harbour, looks cool from region view...

Now Individual Thinks I Like About Each Update...

Update 30: Well in that fountain there seems to be very large coins...

Very nice Elevated Train skins, my compter wouldn't be able to handle that it'd just make some weird colour on my screen...

Goobers, lol...

Update 31: Very nice, I wish I could make cities like that but I can't...  

Update 32: Dang that's freakin beautiful! Once again I wish I could make cool settlements like that but, conduct all complaints to the wahhh... department, as my 6th Grade Social Studies teacher would say, lol...

Sorry for the late reply, I will try to be a regular (as much as possible for me!) poster here at Follomer Showcase...

Hope to see more soon from you Archean...

Best, 

          Ethan

[Zelgadis 638]

Ya know, this may very well be the first time I've seen your full region views, all the way from one side of the map to the other. Or at least, the first time in a long time. I must say, they look quite nice! I like the green space between the cities.

ISF

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

those region shots looks stunning! wow xDDD

[Follarch 327]

jacqulina: Thank you for the compliment jacky.

TmiguelT: Thanks! I worked hard on the city planning on Drace Island, so I'm really glad to hear an acceptance from everyone about it.

Patricius Maximus: Aw, well that just wont do. On the other hand, I can't force you to check in either.

Thank you for all the compliments patricius! And your hopes just might be fulfilled, quite soon.

-Michael Archean, God of Follomer ;P

Leech10: Thanks. Actually...hmm...I would say, one more town somewhere, THEN, it shall be done!

Ethan: Have I dont it again?

I'll make sure to get an update up soon soley on the islands harbor, so you can see how it is.

Yes, very very large coins. The people aren't very gifted for the eyesight so things need to be enlarged.

And thank you! I love the bullet train for my mass transit. And I just downloaded a beautiful station to go along with the skin.

You know how long I've been playing simcity up to this point of making those cities? YEARS! Years of playing got my skill to this point, and yet there are still people who are better then me. lol

Again you will be able to, just, keep playing for a long time. Learn the cheats and work-arounds to make a beautiful city.

And that's alright if youre late, I'm not holding it against anybody. And thank you for wanting to become a regular here. Make sure to be a regular over at the story CJ!

Zelgadis: Really? Wow, well special day for you!  I try hard to keep nature in or around my giganto cities. Glad you approve of that too!

Petrovar Ambassador: Thank you! And wow, nice to see you here! Glad you came back Ambassador.

Update 33 | Big Region View and Teaser

I've done even more work on Drace Island, but this time in small scale. I've focused on a very special area of the island that will directly tie into the story in my other CJ, Follomer Syndicate: Colonies.

Along with that, I made a big map of my regions. Enjoy!

Click here for full image!

And now for the:

TEASER!

Look toward the top. See it?

Chancellor Tristan is going on a summer retreat! Mind you I will of course be adding more details further on, but this is basically done.

[TmiguelT 10]

wow great teaser there my friend . i just got one question.... isn't that hill a little steep for that road? does Chancellor Tristan has a 4X4 to go to his summer retreat

[Follarch 327]

Only one reply? Huh.

TmiguelT: Thanks! And I tried to smooth it out as much as possible, sorry if it still seems steep. Let's just say the Chancellors limo has anti-graviter hover panels.

Update 34 | Istari City and Unvieling of a New Island

I am finally at liberty to show you close-ups of Drace Island. First, according to my story CJ, I will show you the waterfront city of Istari, southeast Drace Island.

Istari city was one of the last built cities on the island, and is also the most unique. Aspects of it include the islands only airport, working elevated mast transit and -

A man-made island covered in highrises. The island is accessible by bridge, ferry and subway. Though even with all the available transit, people stil have long commutes.

And here is it, the first ever unvieling of another Follomer colony.

- Cathleen Island -

[Keegan V50 15]

victor

[TmiguelT 10]

PS. a Hover huh? well that steep would not be a problem then

[Twenty20 28]

Wow, great work here ! I'm really impressed, all this is beautiful and very very well done, keep up the good work !

[Follarch 327]

Victor Valdes: Thank you. I'm particularly proud of Drace Island, and I'm hoping to god Cathleen Island will turn out alright.

And actually those pedmalls are just plaza lots with animations of moving sims. lol

TmiguelT: Thanks! I always appreciate such a positive response. I try hard to make a good mosaic, and that island is made up of all large tiles, which is my favorite!

Yup, hover cars ftw!

Twenty20: Hey, nice to see you here again!

Thank you for the compliments, I always try hard with the city planning.

Update 35 | First Look at Cathleen Island

Today, or tonight depending on when you're reading this, I'll give you an Archean First Look at the new island of Cathleen, situated in the northeast Pacific near the U.S.

Cathleen is made up of all large tiles, a harbor and an airport for travel on and off the island.

Clarified on the screen, we'll be looking first, at the island town of Nassport, Follomer.

Connected to the mainland by bridge only, the town is relatively small. Transportation to the town is hard so only farmers live there, save for a few families working at the towns few industries.

However small, the town is prospering because of the nations strong economy and boom in industry. The town center sees the biggest stores and restaraunts.

Just for the heck of it, the mayor built the round-a-bout to make his town unique. Oddly enough, not many round-a-bouts like this one are seen across Follomer. That is sure to change though.

Of course the town has to be accessed somehow, and this is where it starts. A highway from the mainland crosses the strait using a total of four bridges, and comes into town till the lanes change, indicating a speed transition before ending at intersections that lead into town.

Here's the start of the crossing, the town side of the bridge.

And the crossing itself. The land base in the middle was required in order to keep the bridges as short as possible and to keep maximum structural integrity.

Back in town, people don't forget about their religous beliefs while working on the farms or in the shops.

This neighborhood itself shows the highest favored style of living throughout the nation.

Families everywhere live in neighborhoods like this, in beautiful houses and tree filled streets.

Here is the industry mentioned earlier. As well as the source of the town's power. All recycled from waste.

And last off, the islands plentiful farms. This maxis barn suits its purpose well, even if others completely block all maxis lots, I still appreciate this one.

[jacqulina 162]

wow what an update my friend,beautifull region,love the islands.fantastic detail.and still keeping some lovely green scenes in your citys.awesome work and pics.
